I’m not going to beat around the bush here, so I’ll just get right to the point:

I think that we should send our trash into the void above.

Think about it: Instead of launching John Glenn into the great-big-black the for the millionth time, why don’t we use that money and effort and shoot all of our garbage up towards the stars, rather than have it muck about on our beautiful little planet. I mean, it’s called Space for a reason, isn't it?

I've always been a proponent of that idea, but rocket fuel is horrid for the environment, and we have a lot of trash. I think we'll have to wait for a cleaner technology for rocket launch.

I too have thought that this was a great idea in theory. Forget spewing the garbage into space, jsut shoot it into the sun.

Dude, burning garbage is bad for the environment.

I guess someone didn't see that episode of Futurama where the trash comes back. Heh.

Just a couple of weeks ago I wrote about shooting garbage into the sun with a railgun or coilgun in the future. Neat!

When the garbage is in space, perhaps you can help me with my sexual inhibitions.

You need to learn to shoot off into space, young man.

Pah!

Shoot our rubbish into space? Or the sun?

I've got a far simpler (and cheaper) solution, lets just toss the stuff into the sea. I mean it's so big surely nothing harmful can happen!

There's too much space in space. I think the stars should move a bit closer together and actually do something. Giant swear words in the sky would be fun. Maybe some intergalactic graffiti.

I think the constellations should be ruder. "And the sky, man, it was so clear you could see every star in the Cock And Balls..."

Maybe we could use the trash for something useful, like propellant or casing, then we can use trash to shoot the trash into space in trash-ships, killing two birds with one trashcan and allowing the possibility of the trash disastrously coming back down in a poetic twist of fate and destroying a country in a trashnami that plunges us into a global trashwinter that exterminates humanity.
The answer is to have less trash, surely? Throw less away? Perhaps recycle? Just a thought...
